Dad Turns His Sons’ Doodles Into Anime Characters, And The Result Is Amazing (Part III)

Regular visitors to Bored Panda will no doubt be familiar with the incredible artwork of Thomas Romain. He's a French anime artist living in Tokyo who's worked on various popular series including Space Dandy, Basquash!, and Aria, but his best ideas are the ones that come from his sons.

Working together in what he calls the Father And Sons Design Workshop, Thomas and his kids come up with an eclectic assortment of funny, creepy, and sometimes downright bizarre creatures. Well, it's actually his children who think of them, and then Thomas adds his professional touch to turn them into everything from one-eyed beasts and plant monsters to giant robots and pink-haired hoverboarders. Check out some of our favorites below, and don't forget to vote for the best! You can follow them on Instagram and YouTube, and you can also support them on Patreon.

What do you think ?

This kinda makes me sad, because it makes me think "where did my limitless imagination went?". I remember I used to draw A LOT when I was a little girl, but as I grew up, I got caught by life and the classic path of doing things. I have to let my imagination out of the box I locked it in.

The key to ending any creativity block is to just start creating. Even if you feel it's shit, continue, because it's something you need to go through. Never stop creating, it'll suffocate you. Don't wait for inspiration but grab it by the balls!

About 10 years ago I was in a very down point in my late 20s. I was an artist who hadn't made anything beyond occasional sketches since college, moved back in with my folks, and had developed Rheumatoid Arthritis around 25. RA made me think my identity as an artist would soon be gone as I developed the ravaged permanently swollen joints of most patients and depression set in. Then fate set in. I was apartment sitting for my brother in Cambridge, MA when I saw an ad for a local improv comedy meetup. I always loved comedy and theater too so I went. Little did I know how life changing I,prove would be for me. It recharged my creativity, gave me opportunities to meet and act with inspiring creative people, and I had so much fun. It was like being a silly, weird kid again. Now I am a happy 38 year old with my own arts education center. I owe my artistic survival to improv.

I feel just the same, to the point of admiring and hating some of my past work, thinking about recreate the pieces I like the most. But every time I try to do that, interestingly, I fail. I ether fail to get those lines right or the mood. That's because I created things out of inspiration and motivation, but now I figured out, my subconscious is striving for evolution and progression, it does not get excited that much by recreations or remakes.
